Now hosted on Fat Cow

The Sonrise and CCF websites are now being hosted by Fat Cow. Cowabunga!

If you experience any outages or missing pages, please comment! We want to make sure the website is up and running as smoothly as possible.

New website host in progress

The Sonrise and CCF servers are in the process of being transferred to a more dedicated hosting service. There will be some downtime during the transition, but we hope to have the service up and running soon...and at more blazing speeds!

See you soon.

Upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04!

Not terribly exciting news on the web server front, but we just had to let you know--our server's been successfully upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04! The upgrade from 8.10 --> 9.04 is modest but brings about the latest features from Ubuntu and is a testament to the almost seamless upgrade path (as far as we can tell) from 8.04 --> 8.10 --> 9.04.

Let us know if you have any feedback from the upgrade, and happy surfing!

Web Server Down 11/28, 10pm - 11/29, 10am

UPDATE (2008-11-39, 9:48am): The server upgrade is complete, and service to stuffy.hopto.org (and related websites) is restored.

The Sonrise web server will be down for a server upgrade from 11/28, 10pm - 11/29, 10am. We will be upgrading the server software from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10 to take advantage of the many refinements and polish included in this latest release of the Fedora open source powerhouse.

Status Updates
2008-11-29 (9:48am): Fedora 10 updates complete. Flipping on the switch for serving web pages through this server.
2008-11-29 (9:07am): Fedora 10 installation complete. Beginning updates. Re-syncing time with NTP servers.
2008-11-28 (11:52pm): Fedora 10 netinst failed. Now trying preupgrade; so far, so good, downloading files in preparation for update.

Web Server Down

UPDATE (2008-08-09, 8:36pm): Our website is back up! The malfunctioning hardware has been replaced, and service restored.

The Sonrise web server is down today (8/8/08). As much as we'd like to say that it's because of a torrent of traffic for the Olympics, it's really just because of a networking hardware failure. We're looking to procure a new device and plan to have the server up and running shortly.

Website Address in Transition

Where did our website go?! Not to fear, it's still here. The old UCSF server for registered campus organizations (RCOs) was recently decommissioned, and in its place arose a new server from the Office of Student Life (OSL). The OSL is kind enough to host this server, but to use the server we would be restricted to a content management system rather than using our own customized website. We've been testing our website on our own hosting system for the past several months and seen performance above our expectations.

Rather than using the management system, we have decided to keep our website. New UCSF web policy does not allow automatic redirects, however, which is why we have a placeholder page on the OSL server. On that page we have a link that leads directly to our original site.

Schematically, it looks like this:

ucsf.edu/sonrise --(automatic)--> rco.ucsf.edu/index.php/sonrise/index --(manual)--> sonrise.hopto.org

We do not yet have access to our OSL page, but as soon as we do, we will update it with further information about our group and our website.
